Tianqi finally couldn't help it, and walked out irritablely, and in front of Yu Tong, he stepped forward and kicked Kong Xingfei.

"Ouch!"

Kong Xingfei fell to the ground with a chair on the spot.

Kong Xingfei then got up and looked up.

At this time, he saw that Yu Tong was already kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, you believe it now." ”

"Your Majesty?!"

Kong Xingfei was stunned, and then glanced at Yu Tong again: "Okay, you Yu Tong, you actually hurt me!" ”

"That's right, I am the rogue you said, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty!"

Apocalypse replied coldly.

Kong Xingfei suddenly struck a spirit, and turned over and prostrate on the ground: "Your Majesty! This pure minister said wildly for a while, not the intention of the Guan family! Your Majesty, please be wise! Please also be gracious, Your Majesty! The minister didn't dare anymore, and in the future, he would change his mind and no longer talk wildly. ”

Then, Tianqi looked at Yu Tong and said, "Do you want to live?" ”

Yu Tong nodded: "Yes!" ”

Tianqi pointed at Kong Xingfei: "Then kill him!" Then, you stay in Beijing as Kong Xingfei, and wait for me to see you tomorrow! ”

"Yes!"

After Yu Tong agreed, he walked over, and then took a vase in his hand and walked towards Kong Xingfei.

Kong Xingfei got up and wanted to escape: "Your Majesty! Spare your life! Spare your life! The minister is really just a momentary unintentional statement! ”

Sonor!

A vase smashed firmly on Kong Xingfei's head.

Then, Yu Tong cut Kong Xingfei's throat with a broken porcelain piece.

Kong Xingfei also died because of this.

And Yu Tong, under the instruction of the emperor, began to act as Kong Xingfei in Beijing, and even with the help of Jinyiwei, he also forced Kong Xingfei's wife and concubine in Beijing to recognize his identity.

Therefore, the outside world does not know that Kong Xingfei is dead.

But after Tianqi came back, he was still resentful of Kong Xingfei's words, and said to Zhang Gui, who accompanied him: "I know that this descendant of the saint has indeed performed poorly in history, but I didn't expect that they would be so shameless!" I, the Ming royal family, have shown them a lot of kindness. Even Qufu has become a real domain, and the honor almost exceeds that of the clan! But as a result, it was just a group of white-eyed wolves! It turned out that from beginning to end, they didn't put the Ming royal family in their eyes, and in their eyes, the Tartars were more noble than my Ming royal family! ”

"Your Majesty don't be too angry! It is actually normal for the Kong family to be more polite and heavy on tartars. Because they actually have Tartar blood. ”

Zhang Gui explained the origin of his Northern Sect Kong clan as he spoke.

After hearing this, Apocalypse said: "No wonder! ”

Zhang Gui then said: "Therefore, it is normal for them to be disrespectful to the Ming royal family, after all, they are indeed not the same kind of people as the royal family, and the people of the world are really the same as the royal family. It's just that these families have always flattered foreigners and despised their own people, so they will ridicule His Majesty's royal family as a rogue queen. ”

Apocalypse nodded: "You're right! But since the Kong family is so disrespectful to the royal family, what do I still want the Kong family to do. There can only be one saint in the Ming Dynasty, and this saint is me! Paying tribute to Confucius is just for the people of the world to see, but the people of the world have now become the source of the scourge of the society, and this Confucian family is so unappreciative that there is no need to stay at all! I can't wait to liquidate his Kong family directly. ”

As he spoke, Tianqi said to Zhang Gui again: "I remember that Li Zicheng went to Shandong, and it was because a group of rebels went to Shandong. And you told me at the time that you did this so that you could have a ready-made armed force to rely on when the new policy was implemented in Shandong in the future, right? ”

"One Sword Alone"

Zhang Gui nodded: "Yes!" ”

Tianqi said: "In this way, I decreed that you be appointed as a scholar of Wuyingdian University and the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the secretary of the military department, the imperial history of the right capital, and the governor of the left capital of Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Henan, and Jiangxi provinces, in the name of counterinsurgency, transfer a guard army to the south, and then you instructed Li Zicheng to liquidate the Confucian family!" ”

"Your Majesty, let the courtiers serve as civilians, I am afraid that many courtiers will not agree. What's more, the minister is still a relative, the key is that even if he is a military minister, in addition to the founding of the country, King Zhongshan has been a civil official in Zhongshu Province, and there is no one who can serve as a civil servant in the following dynasties. ”

Zhang Gui replied.

Tianqi said: "Since Taizu has had it from time to time, it is not considered a violation!" I can only leave this matter to you. The civil servants are certainly unwilling. As for the dictatorship of foreign relatives, it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm already a faint king, and it won't affect anything if I mess around again. It was just that I asked them to add a few words to their will, saying that because the country's fortunes were difficult and talents were rare, they had to make an exception. After me, successive kings still have to follow the precedent. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Gui saw that Tianqi had made up his mind to destroy the Kong family, so it was difficult to refuse again.

What's more, Zhang Gui himself actually saw that the Yansheng Mansion was not pleasing to the eye.

In Zhang Gui's view, if the Shenggong Mansion is not destroyed, it will be impossible for the people of the Ming Dynasty to spiritually respect the shackles of Confucianism as masters, and there will be no hope of removing it!

Of course, after Zhang Gui agreed, it was not up to him to do it himself.

And it was still Li Zicheng who did this.

To be precise, it was not Li Zicheng who did this, but the fake rebels who were chased by Li Zicheng's troops to do this.

Therefore, if the people of the world really want to blame, then they can only blame the rebels who fled from Henan to Shandong under the banner of "Fengtian Jingjing".

"Don't mention that."

Tianqi waved his hand, and said to Zhang Gui again: "It's good that the national master is okay now." However, it can also be seen from this that there are indeed officials and gentry in Jiangnan who really want to separate themselves from the imperial court. Maybe it's not just the Wujiang Dong family. ”

Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty said yes. However, the minister wanted to know how His Majesty knew about the Wujiang Dong family. ”

Tianqi replied: "Ye Chengxue, the son of Ye Xianggao, sent me a secret letter from his Wujiang Dong family to him, and the people of the Dong family also said in the letter that there will be a major event in the near future, and I hope that he will pay close attention to it and inform him immediately if there is a situation." He was worried that it would be a bad thing, so he played it directly to me. Now, in my opinion, I'm afraid that's it! Fortunately, you were prepared, so that they didn't catch the real king. But because of this, I already had the idea of letting you supervise Jiangnan, Shandong and other places for me, and I originally planned to go by myself, but I had to do experiments, and the prince is not too young, so I will teach him personally. That's why I don't have time to go to the expedition. ”

"Then it seems that this Ye Chengxue is quite loyal."

Zhang Gui said after hearing this.

Tianqi nodded: "I have used this as an excuse to let him go to Jinyi Wei Ren to be in charge of the punishment of thousands of households." In the future, let him work in Jinyiwei. ”

"Your Majesty's arrangement is naturally appropriate, he is from the Shi clan, so he naturally understands the Shi clan better, and Jinyiwei needs someone like him."

Zhang Gui replied.

……

Xiyuan cabinet duty.

"Your Majesty is just nine thousand years old for Wei Zhongxian, why do you want Uncle Guo to supervise the five provinces as a cabinet assistant and a soldier, how can I make a good plan!"

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, was taken aback when Wei Zhongxian came to announce the holy decree that Zhang Gui should go south as a supervisor.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty said that just this time, your cabinet can write in the will that it is an extraordinary time, and the monarchs of future generations cannot follow suit. ”

Han Yi heard Wei Zhongxian say this, so he agreed and began to draft the will.

In his opinion, it would be good to let the door of the future dictatorship of his relatives be welded to death.

After all, he can't even limit the power of the monarch in order to limit the dictatorship of his relatives.

Now that the emperor can promise only one of Zhang Gui's relatives to do this, it can be regarded as giving him a face, and his own civil officials cannot ignore the promotion.

As a result, the will to make Zhang Gui the superintendent was issued through the cabinet.

But when this will reached the sixth branch, it was refuted by Wu Zhaogong in the matter.

And for good reason.

Nor can any civil official accept such a decree.

But unexpectedly, in order to provoke public opinion to stop this matter, Wu Zhaogong directly took the holy decree and came to the outside of Han's house, shouting: "Han Puzhou flatters his relatives and brings disaster to the country and disrupts the government!" Today, it is even worse, and it is planned to let the relatives hang the official rank of the cabinet auxiliary heavenly official and the army, and supervise the military and political affairs of the five provinces! This person is truly the first traitor of the ages! Even if Fang Gong was dismissed for refuting the holy decree in the past, today I, Wu, should also follow his example, and would rather burn it in front of his house to draft the holy decree, and never let this kind of faint decree that will bring disaster to the country and the people be issued! ”

As he spoke, Wu Zhaogong really took the torch from his slave and lit the holy decree.

There are many foreign officials from Beijing who come to see Shoufu Han every day to present government affairs, and many of them have to queue up in advance under the porch.

Today is no exception, and many officials have seen this scene and have been shocked by it.

Burn the Holy Decree!

What a heroic feat!
